Guys, I am scared. I don't want Pokemon to end but... I feel Gen 10 is going to be the last one.
>>59342575>Thinking they are just gonna end the biggest money making piece of media of all time
>>59342593Gen 10 is going to suck so hard it will kill the brand.
>>59342575Probably not, but they will certainly widen the gap between subsequent generations... and that's a good thing.
>>59342575Last gen before the end of the world. They better make it good.
>>59342575The last Pokemon gen will be the most recent game before you die.Just think about it, the little kids during the pokemania? How many of them stayed hardcore pokemon fans but died during like gen 3, gen 5, gen 7, etc? Even if they were imagining the future of the franchise or what the 1000th pokemon would look like (lol) they never managed to see it through because their lives were cut short. Be it accidents, diseases or "self-deleting".
>>59342575They've been consistently growing something like 20-30% year after year in profits from 2020 onward.The infinite money glitch is real for the Pokemon IP. This shit is never going to end.
>the 10th Trannycat thread today (there were like 5 on /v/ too) Did something happen in India today?
>>59342709it's her birthday
>>59342595Gens 3 and 5 sucked so hard, they lost sales. Didn't kill the brand though. Even if Gen 10 sucks similar, it won't kill the brand. It doesn't rely on adult retards for monies like Star Wars did.And frankly if you childish cunts ate it up gladly as the demographic in Gen 3 and 5, the next crop of fuckwit children up on deck will do the same. Because they always do, that's why it's still pulling in obscene amounts of money yearly off the IP.
>>59342728What sucked was the Johto anime bro, it stopped being funny and cool so the pokemania died down. That and the kids simply grew up as well which is called "graduation" in Japan.It's well-understood that kids will only stick to franchises like Pokemon, Kamen Rider, Precure, etc for like 2-5 years, then it'll become all "baby shit" for them and they graduate to shounen manga and cooler video game. Only after becoming adults again with the nostalgia factor that they return to those franchises with a fresh perspective.Only the west some retards think that you should stay a fan of [franchise] consistently your whole life or else it "failed".
>>59342816You know the kids in the west grew up too? And that's why, despite the anime not being funny and cool to the older kiddiwinks, the younger set ate it up?That's the secret, you retarded little monkey. Regardless what faggots outside the demo think, it still hits the demo it's made for. Which is why gen 5 simultaneously failed AND persisted the brand. But we're many years and crucially many hardware iterations away from those days. And because the Switch succeeded in enticing both normalfags AND actual gamers, Pokémon suyddenly found itself gaining returnees. People who absolutely experienced Pokémon, but stopped buying the cheap-ass handhelds after a certain point to focus on "adult" gaming only to then return because they were in their teenage faggot phase which they subsequently grew out of. I'm wondering when you lot are going to grow up, or if you are just a collective of 20somethings++ who think being a teenage faggot all your life is a goal to strive to.
>>59342728>gen 3Mostly the fault of gen 2.>Gen 5Mostly the fualt of coming late.
>>59342575>The big corporation that makes billions are dollars selling slop is going to stop making money for no reasonYou must have been home-schooled
>>59342728The sales performance of Gens 3 and 5 show that Pokemon fans just want slop and heckin aura moments. Subhuman fanbase
>>59342595Surely it can't be worse than Gen 9 right........right?!??!
>>59342888They are going to stop making billions of dollars selling slop because the slop has been shit for too long
>>59342917Whatever helps you cope
>>59342728Why do Johtards always pretend like their slop didn't lose millions of sales first?
>>59342927Because you made that up. 4th highest sales in the franchise
>>59342927>>59342728Why are Hoenntards always looking for another generation to blame? Even if it started with Johto it’s not like Hoenn did anything to help.
>>59342931Your image literally shows GS losing tons of sales from RGB. Also, Crystal is the worst-selling mainline game ever.Gen Poo is solely responsible for dragging down the sales of the next three generations by making people wait years for a glorified Kanto rehash. Lots of fans left for other IPs that didn't appear to be resting on their laurels, and they didn't come back until either XY (due to the series going 3D) or Go.
>>59342943Unfounded nonsenseGS didn't sell as well because the GBC didn't sell as many units as the GB
>>59342595Nigga have you seen gen 9
>>59342943How did they fumble the bag so hard with GSC? It’s funny how much they’ve managed to fuck up an infinite money printer. It’s like they’ve only had success because of luck.
>>59342951NTA but what are you referring to? I haven’t played it.
>>59342949>GS didn't sell as well ...because it was too much of the same old shit all over again for full price.>because the GBC didn't sell as many units as the GBIt wasn't GBC exclusive.
>>59342960>Let me play this color video game in monochrome even though all the ads are emphasizing that pokemon is now in colorYeah that sounds so appealing
>>59342959Literally anything about it?? The graphics, the glitches, the dogshit performance, the shitty character designs How have you not seen gen 9 discourse, do you live under a fucking rock
>>59342956Chaotic development cycle due to Tajiri's incompetence as a director + too much emphasis on the same old Pokemon and Kanto instead of the new region/dex.
>>59342977nta but why be an assholeall he did was ask
>>59342943The hidden truth that generation wars ignore is that the pokemania dying down was ALWAYS meant to happen, and the nostalgia renaissance that we saw in the 2010s was always meant to happen as long as the franchise stayed afloat.Those are both natural parts of a growing IP for kids, first it goes down in popularity and has the chance of dying, but if doesn't die then it can get a boost later with nostalgia appeal, the kids will have grown up and now have their own kids, or they're going through tough times and want something to put them at ease.
>>59342980ThisPokemon isn't even that popular among kids. It's carried by Millennials and older Zoomers who grew up on the franchise
>>59342979I'm baffled how he hasn't seen how shit gen 9 was, it was literally impossible to miss
>>59342983My point is that it's a mix of both.Kids are engaging with pokemon because their parents who grew up with Pokemon are introducing it to them. Pokemon becomes a way for parents to bond with their kids.Also we have our own variation of "disney adults" as well.
>>59342988>everyone is as terminally online as meI don't know about him, but in my case, I hadn't played a Pokemon game since 2012 (Black 2) until I got the BDSP remake.
>>59342991Everyone on 4chan is terminally online yes
>>59342977Normal people bought it and played it in droves. Guess you couldn't afford it?
>>59342998I did buy and play it anonI'm not saying it didn't sell, wtf are you even talking aboutMy point is EXACTLY that it DID SELL like hot cakes DESPITE the fact that is was hot garbage which is which I'm telling >>59342595 that he's saying nonsense because the game being shit isn't gonna kill the franchise
>>59343011People like you who buy garbage just because it says "Pokemon" on the cover are the problem. Be more like >>59342991At least he stopped playing when the franchise shot itself in the foot
>>59342927>>59342933I predate Gen 1 kiddies. Point still remains shitheads dropped Gen 2 AND Gen 3 and even Gen 4 and 6 and 7 and all the way through 8 and 9. And yet Gens 8 and 9 outsold GS, grew the brand for the first time in its fucking life (because those numbers were retained, instead of generated due to hype). Why do you shitheads need to point at a boogyman to blame for not getting whatever the fuck you assumed Pokémon was supposed to be?
>>59342977Gen 9 was so fucking horseshit lmao
>>59342977Look at all those opinions (and some heavy disinformation) passed off as fact!
>>59342991Based, you're the type of person /vp/ was wishing death and calling all kinds of cunts under the sun for supporting a remake that wasn't their autistic ideal.
>>59343022>any kind of rehash consumer>getting out before anythingBitch got used like all the rest, then fucked aside like you cunts too. He came back, as he admitted to hisself he don't actually hate it. But from where I'm sat, looks like little timmy became little kevin the teenager, before finally growing up to Chad the chad.
>>59343022And did you miss the part where he said he bought play-doh sinnoh? Even further away from the autisic /vp/ ideal.
server undergoing restart cause of shitty timeouts. hopefully fixes it
>>59342595You realize the brand exists beyond the games right? The games are really only vehicles to introduce new designs at this point, everything else makes gangbusters. And there are more kids than ever too, so it’s not like the lost revenue isn’t being offset by newbies to the franchise.Like I know people like to whine about Gen 8 and 9 but there are more people nowadays on top of obsessed millennials and zoomers
>>59343011>DESPITE the fact that is was hot garbage Not a fact.
>>59343180>>59343190I didn't think Brilliant Diamond was bad. It basically just felt like the old game with a new skin. Maybe my expectations were low because I don't know what cool stuff they put in the new games. I liked that the E4 and champion fights are much harder than they used to be. >>59343240>And there are more kids than everNot at this rate
Gen 9 has been the best Generation since 5 and I am tired of pretending. It only looked outdated... if they fix that for 10, we looking into Pokemon becoming an AAA brand.
>>59343445The only sensible opinion ITT
>>59343445I think discourse on gen 9 will change a decade from now considering that Switches 2 will be way more common and people will experience it a lot more with smooth performance.
>>59343022SV has redeeming qualities, plus I never shittalk any game I never played, that's for fucking faggots>>59343177The graphics and performance are objectively really fucking bad and it's absolutely embarrassing that they shipped the game in that stateThis is a fact and no amount of coping will change that
>>59343767>it continues to insist its opinions atre factain't been no glitches since Dec '22 in the thing though. And frankly, if you cunt kids are as disingenuous to STILL play the "I'm a povvo retard with an inability to even upgrade my emulator" card, there's no point treating any the rest of what you say faithfully. You cunts aren't operating with it. Nice opinions, but it's like your arsehole - you think what comes out of it don't stink when it smells worse than fermented decay.,
>>59343803The glitches shit was overblown yes, but it was still embarrassing that they released the game in that state. Still regularly get the raid softlock glitch after all this timeAnd no you retarded Britbong boomer faggot, the game running at 15 FPS (or lower) and the graphic fidelity being way below modern standards is NOT an opinion that is a 100% FACT and no amount of coping will change thatI'm 35 btw so fuck off with your "kid" bullshit
>>59343814So the ENTIRE industry needs to be ashamed of theirselves, because beyond some indie twat working in BASIC, every game these days has bugs on release. Some companies are even known and EXPECTED to be riddled with bugs.And yes, you incel afterbirth retard, it IS personal opinion. I wasn't bothered by the shit you kiddiwinx cried heavens hard about, because being a boomer fuckwit I knew what the Switch was and wasn't. And knew what Game Freak were at, even if you missed the rest of the industry going through it, because of your aforementioned afterbirth heritage, born after the thing established itself as the "kiddy toy series". There will come a day you'll realise the opinions of manchildren mad over a kiddy game series are worthless and attain the enlightenment to stop making them or expecting recognition for them. Clearly won't be for the next few years from this performance, need to grow a little bit older still seemingly.
